Aimed at the teenage market, SKY HIGH blends the teen movie and superhero genres resulting in a cross between a live-action INCREDIBLES and MEAN GIRLS or SAVED.  Being a Disney production, the slant is more towards the former – good as a box-office marketing device but not so for the discerning cineaste looking for something more wicked or edgy.  But SKY HIGH delivers as a family comedy full of broad and at times laugh-out loud humor aided by a script that makes keen observations at American society.
